Given less voyeurism, testing bandwidth can also be done this way and with less side effects. Set desired bandwidth with e.g. -L 12M
for 12mbps and send them a constant stream with they pipe into /dev/null
like this:
pv -r -L 32M /dev/urandom | ssh user@my.testserv.er "cat > /dev/null"
On Gentoo pipe view pv
is available as sys-apps/pv
.
